How to CORRECTLY use the preacher curl machine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 янв 2022
- Alright, here’s how to do preacher curls. first adjust the seat so that your armpits rest comfortably against the pad and your shoulders are locked in place. Then stand up and grab the handles with a shoulder width grip while slightly lifting it up and getting into position. From here, extend your arms to stretch your biceps, then push your palms up and towards you and think of curling the weight in a rainbow shape motion. Slightly lifting your elbows off the pad at the top is totally fine, just don’t cave them inwards and make sure to keep your shoulders locked in place. Squeeze at the top and very slowly control the weight down by fully extending your arms.
I hope that helps and subscribe for more lifting tips! #Gym #Shorts

Execution on this machine is very important since the biceps are such a small muscle. No need to go super heavy on these. Anywhere from 10-15 reps is what I personally recommend, but feel free to change it up and see what works for you!

i struggle to grow my biceps can being high fat like 20% hide the bicep muscle? bicep is like the one muscle i been working for the longest since i started working out
@@bullseye3054 Growing the biceps can be difficult. Aside from tons of pulling exercises, volume is key to grow the biceps. Also, good nutrition and sleep.
@@bullseye3054 Create super sets for your bicep workouts. For example zottoman curls, incline curls, seated bicep curls, half rep leaning forward curls, hammer curls. These should be all one set something like 5 reps each, with no rest period between. Do 3-4 sets only stopping long enough to catch your breath, the goal is to get as much blood pumping into that muscle. Don’t forget to twist that ring finger on the way up so your palm creates a full stretch to build your bicep peak.
@@bullseye3054too much biceps will just ruin the aesthetics if your other muscles are underdeveloped
Oh okay I thought you used your legs to curl it up
yeah i was sitting on it backwards. It was putting a lot of pressure on my shoulders reaching around behind my back to grip the handles
Bro same . This video was a life saver
Man... Things i wish i knew...i got kicked out Planet Fitness...again... Apparently all exercises can be performed with your pants pulled up and don't involve your pecker or whatever...
***I guess what i was doing was the Priest Curl** with the alter boy grip
Old school bodybuilders would put the elbows close together
Who fucking cares for grandpas? Stfu
Ok nice knowledge thank you
Light weight and more reps. Super effective🔥
"A rainbow shape motion", lol you mean a circular motion or should I expect colors and stuff ? ;)
If you don't see rainbows, you're not using your "imagination". 🧽👐🌈
Black and white rainbows are fine too as long they are rainbow shaped
@@starlordgg no! they must be colorful 😌💅🏼
Someone get offended by “rainbows” lol
If you go heavy on these then your a literal Demon.
I do 105lbs on it, Is that heavy?
@@lm3thewrapper depends on your fitness level but that's x2 what i curl so yea lol
@@JimboPro not to brag, but seeing my own comment 2 weeks later is wild because I now do 155lbs on preacher curl💀 that was fast
@@lm3thewrapper im sti.ll stuck on 55 it's tough out here
@@lm3thewrapperfacts I’m at 125 thinking I must be doing it wrong. I’ve got the seat as low as it goes (I’m tall) so i know my chest isn’t involved. Three months ago I was struggling at 60. I’m 4 months into the gym btw
And fucking align your elbow with the rotation axis of the machine, probably the most important
Nice and to the point. I like it.
Hey Max can u please show us how to perform low row machine exercise?
❤️💪
phew i last time i tried i was using my chest
That's Cool Workout Routine Right Max
An additional thing you can try is to do the eccentric with one hand only, switching the left and the right of course. This creates far more muscle damage during the eccentric phase of the movement.
Thanks a lot, was wondering about lifting your elbows
Can you do reverse grip on it?
Thats cool and all but I prefer to just use the EZ bar XD!
Nothing wrong with that but the angle of this machine makes the stimulus different from an ez curl.
thank you
My gym has 2 types of preachers this one ur using and another where the handles can spin and it gives weird grip and everyone avoids it. If you have that kind can u do a vid on it
Brother can you show me your resistance band workout plz❣️❣️
ok i'm so confused right now, which direction am i pulling?
Up
I'm totally scared of this rype of curl because it isolates so well that I'm afraid of not knowing how much I can curl without injuring. So I just to standing barbell curls
preacher curl with dumbbells is superior
Is it meant to get lighter/lose some tension near the top
But can the elbows cave outwards?
For me it’s way better using this machine while standing.
U just made a regular curl congrats
what about holding it neutral grip?
That guy keeps walking behind you
I use open palms instead of gripping the handles because I noticed my forearms were receiving all tension
@@autogolazzojr7950 Sorry, but you must have missed that brachioradialis purpose is elbow flexion. No worries tho =)
@@dannes22 Wups
So open palms are better? I saw a video who someboy open his palms and he did the exercise in stand position
hi Max! thanks for the vid
what do you think of doing them on an incline bench using dumbells instead of this machine?
Similar exercises but machines provide constant tension on the muscles. But if you want to focus on one arm at a time then go for dumbells on incline bench :) hope it helps
i avoid this machine cuz everytime i use it, it feels like im pulling weight parallal to me if tht makes sense maybe my arms r short welp
trains both balls and biceps
UAOOO congratulations MAX you are veryfantastic Physique and very beautiful Man ❤️👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I injured my ligaments a bit for 2 weeks because I fully lowered the weight down and whole weight was on my elbow fully extended. Also 1 guy in the gym got hurt like that. I prefer to not fully extend arms but really close to fully extension.
U know nothing my son
mario rios on his way
Do you lower the weights all the way down?
If you have to
Not necessarily. If you can cheat a bit and not fully stretch, then you can load up the bar more, and mechanical tension is what’s gonna make your muscles grow. Form nazis tend to be smaller than guys who cheat a bit intelligently to get progressive overload
No
Yes
How tall is max?
Max who taught you
When I do this it makes my neck hurt, might sound like a joke but I’m serious it’s so much pain for some reason what do I di
lighter weights maybe?
Problem 1, how tf do you adjust the seat height 😭 I always just have to use whatever height its at cuz idk how to adjust it
hey there should be a knob that you can pull out and pull up or let the seat down. it's under the seat
@@jabs2054 dude he's asking how he can determine what height is right for him
Put a cactus on the seat and sit on top of it, that will provide you with the right adjustment and perfect EZ curl.
@@anujgoyal1679 what not tf he's not he legit don't know how to adjust the seat like many people it's a pain to adjust
i hate doing these i always skip preacher curls i do hammer, regular or ez bar curls even pause curls
Why??
@@Manish_tyagi1717 because i have little arms 😂
make sure you dont curl your wrists or you gona get forearm pain.
🔥🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤
What if forearm pain shows? Is it mean that my forearms are weak developed
try lowering the weight
try lowering the weights i had the same issue but reducing the weights solved my problem
Lower the weights as the two above said and if it’s too light aim for higher reps
Thanks guys
Wanne make it even harder? Don't GRAB the handle, lay in on the lowest part of ur hand, just above ur wrist. It's such a hard pump and a great bicep finisher!
Can you explain? Or show examples? I’m going to the gym rn
@@Facecel_Lay and rest the handles on your hand just above your wrist with open palms and curl. This is harder because if you grip, you are using your forearms to help you curl the weight.
You're sitting way too high up
😀😆I know THAT MACHINE is one of the LESS USED Machines in THAT Gym. U never have to WAIT TO USE IT 😆😂 Because it Will ALWAYS B Available. The ONLY people who use it are the Beginner's or First timers.
+read bible for ultimate preacher curls
no need to overthink a machine lift
If people needs instructions on how to use the preacher curl machine, we are lost.
real shit
Yeah like for real
working out is not rocket sience. Basicly genetics determine your gains.
this is the absolute wrong way to do this exercise
